well my son came down today, took off the hoe and said that thing looks brand new, I said did you push ope n the choke and look in?? he did it and said WOW there the problem its loaded with crap! he used 2 cans of carb cleaner and cleaned everything. After that I started it up and got the cleaner o run thur, purrs like a kitten. Got on the highway and it has even more power!went to the zone and got some Lucas fuel injector cleaner, a big bottle enough for 30 gal of gas, put the hole thing in there and get that injection system clean. It says for carbon build up?
I looked at the air filter with my son it was ok but the zone did not have the one I needed. My son said thats not bad I have seen worse, I said it will be changed when I go by Advance this week, its a cheap replacement and I have seen some so plugged that the motor would not run, never mind the gas mileage, and I am getting 14 mph now!
Also every time I get gas the ck engine light comes on? I never leave the truck running when gassing up? So I got a new gas cap also and see if that helps? Light was on after we did the decarb, but I was betting that it was because of the cleaner and running like carp till I burned it up.
The real test is tomorrow morning and see if she runs good or still runs ruff on start up??
Now just a break job and she should be good!
I will let you know how she is in the morning!
THANKS GUYS!!!
